It is easy to foobar setting a kernel parameter on the command line
without realizing it, there's not much output that you can use to assess
what the kernel did with that parameter by default.
Make it a little more explicit which parameters on the command line
_looked_ like a valid parameter for the kernel, but did not match anything
and ultimately got tossed to init. This is very similar to the unknown
parameter message received when loading a module.
This assumes the parameters are processed in a normal fashion, some
parameters (dyndbg= for example) don't register their parameter with the
rest of the kernel's parameters, and therefore always show up in this list
(and are also given to init - like the rest of this list).
Another example is BOOT_IMAGE= is highlighted as an offender, which it
technically is, but is passed by LILO and GRUB so most systems will see
that complaint.
An example output where "foobared" and "unrecognized" are intentionally
invalid parameters:
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.12-dirty debug log_buf_len=4M foobared unrecognized=foo
Unknown command line parameters: foobared BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.12-dirty unrecognized=foo

checkpatch complains about positive return values of poll functions.
Example:
WARNING: return of an errno should typically be negative (ie: return -EPOLLIN)
+ return EPOLLIN;
Poll functions return positive values. The defines for the return values
of poll functions all start with EPOLL, resulting in a number of false
positives. An often used workaround is to assign poll function return
values to variables and returning that variable, but that is a less than
perfect solution.
There is no error definition which starts with EPOLL, so it is safe to
omit the warning for return values starting with EPOLL.

checkpatch identifies a label only when a terminating colon
immediately follows an identifier.
Bitfield definitions can appear to be labels so ignore any
spaces between the identifier terminating colon and any digit
that may be used to define a bitfield length.
Miscellanea:
o Improve the initial checkpatch comment
o Use the more typical '&&' instead of 'and'
o Require the initial label character to be a non-digit
(Can't use $Ident here because $Ident allows ## concatenation)
o Use $sline instead of $line to ignore comments
o Use '$sline !~ /.../' instead of '!($line =~ /.../)'

Since commit d0259c42ab ("spdxcheck.py: Use Python 3"), spdxcheck.py
explicitly expects to run as python3 script. If "python" still points to
python v2.7 and the script is executed with "python scripts/spdxcheck.py",
the following error may be seen even if git-python is installed for
python3.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 10, in <module>

ImportError: No module named git
To fix the problem, check for the existence of python3, check if
the script is executable and not just for its existence, and execute
it directly.

lz4 compatible decompressor is simple. The format is underspecified and
relies on EOF notification to determine when to stop. Initramfs buffer
format[1] explicitly states that it can have arbitrary number of zero
padding. Thus when operating without a fill function, be extra careful to
ensure that sizes less than 4, or apperantly empty chunksizes are treated
as EOF.
To test this I have created two cpio initrds, first a normal one,
main.cpio. And second one with just a single /test-file with content
"second" second.cpio. Then i compressed both of them with gzip, and with
lz4 -l. Then I created a padding of 4 bytes (dd if=/dev/zero of=pad4 bs=1
count=4). To create four testcase initrds:
1) main.cpio.gzip + extra.cpio.gzip = pad0.gzip
2) main.cpio.lz4 + extra.cpio.lz4 = pad0.lz4
3) main.cpio.gzip + pad4 + extra.cpio.gzip = pad4.gzip
4) main.cpio.lz4 + pad4 + extra.cpio.lz4 = pad4.lz4
The pad4 test-cases replicate the initrd load by grub, as it pads and
aligns every initrd it loads.
All of the above boot, however /test-file was not accessible in the initrd
for the testcase #4, as decoding in lz4 decompressor failed. Also an
error message printed which usually is harmless.
Whith a patched kernel, all of the above testcases now pass, and
/test-file is accessible.
This fixes lz4 initrd decompress warning on every boot with grub. And
more importantly this fixes inability to load multiple lz4 compressed
initrds with grub. This patch has been shipping in Ubuntu kernels since
January 2021.

If the input is out of the range of the allowed values, either larger than
the largest value or closer to zero than the smallest non-zero allowed
value, then a division by zero would occur.
In the case of input too large, the division by zero will occur on the
first iteration. The best result (largest allowed value) will be found by
always choosing the semi-convergent and excluding the denominator based
limit when finding it.
In the case of the input too small, the division by zero will occur on the
second iteration. The numerator based semi-convergent should not be
calculated to avoid the division by zero. But the semi-convergent vs
previous convergent test is still needed, which effectively chooses
between 0 (the previous convergent) vs the smallest allowed fraction (best
semi-convergent) as the result.

Android captures per-process system memory state when certain low memory
events (e.g a foreground app kill) occur, to identify potential memory
hoggers. In order to measure how much memory a process actually consumes,
it is necessary to include the DMA buffer sizes for that process in the
memory accounting. Since the handle to DMA buffers are raw FDs, it is
important to be able to identify which processes have FD references to a
DMA buffer.
Currently, DMA buffer FDs can be accounted using /proc/<pid>/fd/* and
/proc/<pid>/fdinfo -- both are only readable by the process owner, as
follows:
1. Do a readlink on each FD.
2. If the target path begins with "/dmabuf", then the FD is a dmabuf FD.
3. stat the file to get the dmabuf inode number.
4. Read/ proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>, to get the DMA buffer size.
Accessing other processes' fdinfo requires root privileges. This limits
the use of the interface to debugging environments and is not suitable for
production builds. Granting root privileges even to a system process
increases the attack surface and is highly undesirable.
Since fdinfo doesn't permit reading process memory and manipulating
process state, allow accessing fdinfo under PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCRED.

Some NVIDIA GPUs do not support direct atomic access to system memory via
PCIe. Instead this must be emulated by granting the GPU exclusive access
to the memory. This is achieved by replacing CPU page table entries with
special swap entries that fault on userspace access.
The driver then grants the GPU permission to update the page undergoing
atomic access via the GPU page tables. When CPU access to the page is
required a CPU fault is raised which calls into the device driver via MMU
notifiers to revoke the atomic access. The original page table entries
are then restored allowing CPU access to proceed.

Some devices require exclusive write access to shared virtual memory (SVM)
ranges to perform atomic operations on that memory. This requires CPU
page tables to be updated to deny access whilst atomic operations are
occurring.
In order to do this introduce a new swap entry type
(SWP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE). When a SVM range needs to be marked for exclusive
access by a device all page table mappings for the particular range are
replaced with device exclusive swap entries. This causes any CPU access
to the page to result in a fault.
Faults are resovled by replacing the faulting entry with the original
mapping. This results in MMU notifiers being called which a driver uses
to update access permissions such as revoking atomic access. After
notifiers have been called the device will no longer have exclusive access
to the region.
Walking of the page tables to find the target pages is handled by
get_user_pages() rather than a direct page table walk. A direct page
table walk similar to what migrate_vma_collect()/unmap() does could also
have been utilised. However this resulted in more code similar in
functionality to what get_user_pages() provides as page faulting is
required to make the PTEs present and to break COW.

Migration is currently implemented as a mode of operation for
try_to_unmap_one() generally specified by passing the TTU_MIGRATION flag
or in the case of splitting a huge anonymous page TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE.
However it does not have much in common with the rest of the unmap
functionality of try_to_unmap_one() and thus splitting it into a separate
function reduces the complexity of try_to_unmap_one() making it more
readable.
Several simplifications can also be made in try_to_migrate_one() based on
the following observations:
- All users of TTU_MIGRATION also set TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK.
- No users of TTU_MIGRATION ever set TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON.
- No users of TTU_MIGRATION ever set TTU_BATCH_FLUSH.
TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE is a special case of migration used when splitting an
anonymous page. This is most easily dealt with by calling the correct
function from unmap_page() in mm/huge_memory.c - either try_to_migrate()
for PageAnon or try_to_unmap().
